That's a great price for an awesome monitor. I don't know how I've managed without this luxurious screen. Great for video/photo viewing/editing, movies, games, multi-apps with your sidebar of choice, etc.

If you get this monitor your computer won't be some box with stuff in it. Your computer will be a big bright display sitting in the middle of your desk, exposing spreadsheets for what they are, letting you get the full picture in photoshop, and finally letting you get work done properly.

You could spend the money on parts for your box, but you'll be running the same apps as before, in the same manner as before. Just don't.
